Quicksilver is an alternative form of currency in No Man's Sky.
Summary[ | ]
Quicksilver is a tertiary currency in No Man's Sky.
Units are the primary, with Nanite Clusters being secondary.
Sources[ | ]
- 100 from a random pulse engine event causes Condensed Stellar Ice to spawn as a Space Encounter. Quicksilver may be rewarded by destroying the ice. Approaching the ice shows its contents, but currency rewards will only display "Condensed Stellar Ice". This can be used to know in advance, prior to completing its destruction, whether it might contain Quicksilver.
- 150 from The Space Anomaly mission when spoken to Nada. This is repeated multiple times throughout the story. The mission will auto-switch to The Space Anomaly at any point that this reward is possible.
- 400 from Daily quicksilver missions (these are the same as normal nexus missions, but award ). These stack up to 3 missions (3 days of gameplay missed).
- 1800 from a Weekend quicksilver mission (once a week).
